csync

A professional file synchronizer for normal users

Visit csync

csync is a lightweight utility for bidirectional file synchronization between directories or across systems. It uses existing protocols like SMB and SFTP rather than requiring its own server component, and runs at user level without administrator privileges. Combined with a PAM module (pam_csync), it can provide roaming home directories for Linux and Active Directory environments.
